The first "commercial development" automatic landings (as opposed to pure experimentation) were achieved through realising that the vertical and lateral paths had different rules. Although the localiser signal would be present throughout the landing, the glide slope had to be disregarded before touchdown in any event.

ActiveUS20150266575A1Facilitate automatic capture and launchPrecise positioningArrester hooksArresting gearLifting capacityFlight vehicle
A system for facilitating automated landing and takeoff of an autonomous or pilot controlled hovering air vehicle with a cooperative underbody at a stationary or mobile landing place and an automated storage system used in conjunction with the landing and takeoff mechanism that stores and services a plurality of UAVs is described. The system is primarily characterized in that the landing mechanism is settable with 6 axes in roll, pitch, yaw, and x, y and z and becomes aligned with and intercepts the air vehicle in flight and decelerates the vehicle with respect to vehicle's inertial limits. The air vehicle and capture mechanism are provided with a transmitter and receiver to coordinate vehicle priority and distance and angles between landing mechanism and air vehicle. The landing and takeoff system has means of tracking the position and orientation of the UAV in real time. The landing mechanism will be substantially aligned to the base of the air vehicle. With small UAVs, their lifting capacity is limited. Reducing sensing and computation requirements by having the landing plate perform the precision adjustments for the landing operation allows for increased flight time and / or payload capacity.

A method and system for preventing the control of an aircraft from the cockpit. In an exemplary embodiment, the system could be triggered externally. For example, an air traffic control (ATC) station could determine that the aircraft has deviated from its planned flight path. If personnel at the ATC station decide that the deviation is not attributable to the actions of the authorized flight crew, the personnel can transmit a signal to the aircraft that disables all normal cockpit control of the aircraft. Once normal flight controls are disabled, the aircraft may execute a preprogrammed emergency flight plan via its autopilot system, with or without the use of a flight management system (FMS). The emergency flight plan could cause the aircraft to fly to a sparsely populated area and enter a holding pattern, or it could cause the aircraft to land in a sparsely populated area or at an airport using an autoland system.

InactiveUS20050197811A1Design optimisation/simulationSpecial data processing applicationsEngineeringLift line
Embodiments of the present invention relate to methods for calculating the aerodynamic forces and moments on fixed wing aircraft experiencing dynamic ground effects in subsonic flight. An airfoil and its trailing vortices are modeled as a lifting line with trailing vortex sheets and an image lifting line with trailing vortex sheets. The lifting line is located at a certain height above the ground and its image is located at an equal height below the ground, in order to satisfy a boundary condition of zero normal velocity at the ground. A downwash velocity at the airfoil is expressed as the sum of the downwash velocities from the lifting line and its image and is dependent on the height above the ground. The angle of attack of the airfoil is then expressed as a function its downwash velocity, the geometry of the airfoil, and a series representation of its vorticity distribution. The vorticity distribution is calculated from the angle of attack by numerical substitution. Aerodynamic forces and moments on the airfoil are calculated from the vorticity distribution. In another method, a lifting surface and image lifting surface are used to model an airfoil. These methods have particular use in autoland systems, autopilot systems and computer simulations.
